ACC Mansfield Services

This afternoon service includes a brief meditation on the biblical doctrine of the laying on of hands as the congregation prays for two new brothers in Christ, Keith and Axel. From Acts 8 and Acts 19, the message points to the Holy Spirit’s work in sealing and regenerating believers, calling these young converts to die daily to the flesh and to walk in obedience under the Spirit’s guidance, comfort, and discernment.

Bro. Doug expounds Matthew 5:17–48, considering what Jesus meant when He said, "I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill," and showing how Christ perfectly obeyed God’s moral law, exposed the heart behind the commandments, and brought the Old Covenant ceremonies and sacrifices to their intended fulfillment. Drawing from Romans, Hebrews, Colossians, John, and Titus, he encourages the church to rest in Christ’s one-time sacrifice by faith and to pursue holy living by the Spirit without returning to a works-based righteousness.
